HYDRAULIC AND PNEUMATIC APPARATUS.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented. Jan. 1, 1907.

Application filed November 27, 1905. Serial F0. 289.341.

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, HARRY Jonas, a citizen ofthe United States, residing at Washington, in the District of Columbia, have invented new and useful Improvementsin Hydraulic and Pneumatic Apparatus, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to a hydraulic and pneumatic apparatus for raising and distributing water, which will be more fully hereinafter described in the specification, illustrated in the drawing, and particularly pointed out in the claims.

The object of my invention is to provide an apparatus for raising water from wells or other storagelaces of any depth and discharging and elivering the same at any desired place or laces.

Another ob ect of my invention is to comblue in one apparatus hydraulic and neumatic devices and means above and elow the earths surface to effect the desired dis tribution of water.

A further object of my invention is to pro vide an apparatus which will be' readily understood and easily managed and be'strong and durable.

These objects I accomplish by the apparatus shown on the diagrammatic drawing accompanying this application and made a part of it and on which like letters will refer to similar parts.

Referring now to the drawing, A re resents the body of a' pump; B, a ump-Iog; a, the'water-spout, and a the ban e.

C represents the pump-rod, C the wellpipe, broken away, and c the pumpcylinder.

1) represents an eccentric-headed lever, D

its rod, and d avalve operated thereby.

E represents an air-pump; E, its pipe; e, the re for operating said airump, and e the clutch for sec said roxi' by a thum screw to the pump-r0 C.

F is a faucet, and f the rod by which it is operated.

Gis a cross-head, and G the pipe leading to the water-tank H.

I represents a pressure-gage, and I awater-gage. e

K represents a pipe leading from the pi e G to the upper part of the tank H for elivering water into said tank to wash and cleanse the same, and l: is a stop-valve to regulate the flow of water through the pipe K. g is a check-valve in the pipe G to revent backflow of water from the tank, an g is a the work.

seven inches.

faucet through which the water through pipe L from tank H may be discharged.

it represents a float-valve in the tank H, which will close the mouth of the pipe M when the water is drawn oil and prevent the escape of air from tank H.

M represents a conducting-pipe for conducting water from the tank H to any desired point or points,-and m is its check-valve.

Nrepresents a relief-valve, and n a reliefcock, and 'n a weight.

J is a pipe leading to the pressure-gage I.

Attempts have heretofore been made to se-.

cure the results I accomplish, but without success,because of the failure of those making the attempts to comprehend the difliculties to be overcome and to provide means to do In the apparatus herein described and illustrated I employ the necessary means and mechanism to raise the water and to convey and force it to the desired place.

In operating the a paratus herein de scribed and illustrated preferably raise the valve (1 to the position shown in the drawing by turning the eccentric-lever D to the position shown in the dra I then secure the rod 6 by the clutch e to the pump-rod G, so that both'pum away he in operation at the same time. he valve d being then in the osition shown in the drawing andthe chec -valves in pipe G being open and the faucet g and check-valve m being closed, the handle a of the pump A is then operated and air and water are drawn and forced into the tank H.

The tank H will be constructed to withstand any required pressure. I find from e erience that one pound ressure in a tank wil raise water in a vertical tube twenty- Hence if 1t is desired to raise water to a height of forty-five feet twenty pounds pressure will be required, and so on in like ratio. In order to at all times know the depth of water in tank H and the pressure therein, the water-gage I and themessure-gage I are provided. Having ascertained, therefore, the height to which-the water is to be carried, water and air will be pumped into the tank H until the desired pressure is shown on pressurgv-filegg I, when the stop-valve m in pipe M and the water will be delivered, as described. Care must be taken that the air and water pumps are kept in operation not only tofurnish the required amount of air and water,

e opened but also to secure and retain the required pressure.

The relief-valve N will be set by its weight a so as to give relief by discharging Water through cook it whenever the pressure in the tank H exceeds the degree expressed by said Wei ht. In case water is not needed in the t H and is desired for other purposes the valve (Z may be lowered by turning eccentriclever D until it closes pipe G, and then the Water will be delivered through the spout a-'.

I do not limit in -self in the size, length, or place any other l mitation upon the parts erein described, as I claim the right to use them in any form .or size to accomplish the ob'ects herein mentioned.

aving thus full described my invention, what I claim, and cibsire tosecure by Letters Patent, ise 1. In a machine for pumping and distributing water, the combination with a waterpump and an air-pump, each having a delivcry-pipe, and means for operating them simultaneously, of a water and air tank having a supply-pipe for an and water and means for delivering Water therefrom under airpressure, a stand-pipe for delivering water inde endent of sai tank, a valve governing the ow through said stand-pipe, and a hollow distributing cross-head to which the delivery-pipe from the water-pump, the delivery-pipe from the air-pump, the supplypipe to the water and air tank, and the standp pe are all connected, substantially as described.

2. In a machine for pumping and distributing water, the combination with a waterpump and an air-compressor connected to the pump-rod thereof, each having a delivcry-pipe and means for operating them simultaneously, of a water and air tank havin a su ply-pipe for air and water and means tor de iverin water therefrom under air ressure, a relief-valve N, a stand-pipe for elivering water independentl of said tank, a valve governing the flow t ough said standpi e and a hollow distributing cross-head to w oh the delivery-pipe from the water-pump,

the delivery-pipe from the air-com ressor, the supply-pi e to the water and air tank, and the stan -pipe are all connected, anda flushing-pipe K connected to the connectingpipe G and tank H, substantially as de-.

scribed. i

3. In a machine for pumping and distributing water under pressure, the combination with the water-tank H, of a free floating valve it, a dischar e-pipe L, and dischargepi ie M, substantiafiy as described.

n testimony whereof I afiix my signature in presence of two subscribing Witnesses.
